Until 1963 V.I.Tolochko remained director of the Vorontsov Palace Museum , but the passion for creativity once again began to overpower . After 6 years of administrative work Viktor returns to painting begins to build a house in Yalta workshop, learning to see again and paint landscapes , still lifes, themed paintings about the war. By this time he was already a member of the Artists' Union, in his life have wonderful friends - F.Z.Zaharov , P.K.Stolyarenko , Ya.A.Basov . Fedor Z. brings to his studio in Moscow and Leningrad their friends - Kozlovsky , I.F.Shalyapinu , E.E.Moiseenko with his wife , M.K.Anikushina , V.V.Bogatkina , come annually Kiev - E . A.Afanasev , A.M.Lopuhov , A.A.Plamenitsky , V.V.Babentsov . Viktor is completely immersed in the artistic life of the Crimea and the cultural capitals of the vast country .

In the early 60 -ies in the works V.I.Tolochko markedly influence F.Z.Zaharova painting - a lot of artists work together , go to the sketches , write staged still lifes. Fedor Z. , 1952 to devote himself to creative work, the 60 's was already established bright painter. Viktor quickly learns the lessons of another. Overvalued horizon markedly enlarged front and restrained color palette is stored in the works Talochka more than 5 years , remind us of this community . Read it and influence in the early still lifes , such as " Still Life with Oranges " (1961 ) .

By the end of the 60s V.I.Tolochko acquainted with Impressionist art that clearly comes through in all his landscapes and still lifes that time. Melting the art compatriots and European masters , a variety of scenic styles , color vision , composite solutions Viktor comes to his own visual language , very emotional and imaginative . Work " street in Gurzuf " (1967), "Autumn vineyards " (end of 1960 ) - typical representatives of the author's style .

Particularly active over Viktor thematic paintings about the war. During this period created such famous paintings as " Sevastopoltsy " (1967), "Song" (1967), "During the War" ( 1968) , which brought the artist acclaim and respect of his colleagues .

6 years and runs a turbulent energy Viktor Ivanovich , his need to be in the thick of things pushing him to change places . In 1970 he moved to Donetsk and in 1973 became Chairman of the Union of Artists of Donetsk . Enormous vitality has always been the hallmark of this man, he demanded a lot from himself and others, wanted to do everything and led the caring , active, able-bodied . "Young people reached out to me . Started going on sketching , worked very hard ... They loved to sit and talk about the art , respected by a good meal . No, not booze , namely feast. "- Later recalled Talochka .

In the 70s Viktor tends to monochrome painting - there are canvases , executed in blue tones , sometimes lilac or terracotta . Particular attention is paid to the invoice of the paint layer . His works seem to be woven of many threads of different thicknesses and lengths, precisely matched within a single color. " Blue Landscape " (1971), "Orange Boat " (1979 ), "In the storm " (1980) - typical for these years.

In 1980, the artist makes his last big move - he returned to the Crimea and forever devotes himself to art. 6 years at the front, 6 years in a museum , 6 years as Chairman of the Union - all these years, realized his talent manager and leader. Some artists even grumbled : functionary ! In fact , all the talents of Viktor Ivanovich were so powerful and vivid that he could not give preference to one thing , he could not sacrifice any of the parties of its violent nature.

80 years filled with constant reflections on the meaning of life, the purpose of art , his own work . In 1985 he received the title V.I.Tolochko National Artist of the USSR as a sign of attention to its merits , a tribute to the artist - soldier , 30 years of his life to promoting the ideas of humanism and service debt.

Late 80's early 90 -ies noted in life Viktor Ivanovich awakening of another talent - Love a woman. Meeting with Helena dramatically changed the life of the artist, helped him survive the " disasters of perestroika and the collapse of the country" ( V.I.Tolochko ) .

Viktor Ivanovich told Alexander Zvyagin stored on home video says: "Love - it's too high and holy feeling , they are not scattered ... Only a person of high morals and great soul can love . Love - is also a talent and also from God , as everything on this earth . "

For us, the young people of the early 21 th century was a model of Viktor chivalrous attitude toward women , a visit to his house to meet him left an indelible mark on our souls. It is this great love that allowed the artist to remain original masters , do not jump on the rails of commercial art . " I will not leave the job - says the artist - as long as I am alive . Hemingway And as I said , must work for the woman he loved for themselves ... Of course ! Without love, nothing can be done . Smear can not put . "

Skill of the artist to top 90s reaches its highest point - his work always ambitious , compositionally built . Palette his landscape paintings and still life becomes bright, sonorous , it is often used pure colors . Sometimes the author returns to the monochrome color construction , but more often it come in green landscapes or golden yellow. In 1993 , sitting in the studio and talking about Talochka still life F.Z.Zaharov said, " Victor , you may lose color with age , well, because of the eye. But the brush stroke is not lost! ". The collection of the gallery Art Boulevard stored fine specimens of this period of the artist - " Still life with white roses " (2001) , "Landscape" (2003 ) and others.

Does not deviate from Viktor and his usual thematic picture . All spiritual experiences of the artist , thinking about love, about God found expression in the works of the past 15 years . Viktor slowly came to faith , not in a hurry to change the membership card on the Orthodox cross . In an interview with Alexander Zvyagin he expressed his true attitude to religion: " I ​​have a dream , and I am convinced - religion should be the one ! And ... even if the language was one in all the land , then people would be all - brothers! "

Work "Nick" (1995), "Is there a place on earth where God would be good ? " (1997) , "And shine upon the earth ... " (2000) , as well as many other works in this series , produced at first sight a very difficult experience , create a feeling of congestion composition and philosophy. The predominance of red- purple , ocher and golden tones , contrasting shade along with virtuoso writing exert real pressure on the viewer . However , seeing them , getting acquainted with the views of the Master, you begin to understand what otherwise he could not show the world. Viktor is absolutely sincere in his statements and in his paintings . He was confident that the Lord , talking with their children in different languages ​​- many faces , but , nevertheless , it is the One and Almighty God . He created the beauty of the world , created and tests . Viktor Ivanovich passed his way from start to finish , was honestly nothing avoiding and hiding behind others' backs , and for that the Lord gave him a long life , bright talents and great Love .
